Artist News Gigs & Festivals Releases
Princess Nokia to release two new albums this week
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 25 February 2020
Having begun the trail to her next album with single ‘Sugar Honey Ice Tea’ last year, Princess Nokia has now revealed that the album will in fact be two. The rapper will release two LPs – ‘Everything Is Beautiful’ and ‘Everything Sucks’ – later this week.
The albums aim to capture different sides of Princess Nokia’s personality. Crafted with a variety of musicians in different countries over the course of two years, ‘Everything Is Beautiful’ is a “representation of [her] sensitive, feminine side”. Meanwhile, ‘Everything Sucks’, which was conversely recorded in the space of a week in New York with producer Tony Seltzer, is harder and more raw.
Speaking about ‘Everything Is Beautiful’ last year, she told DIY: “I want this to be a coming of age album for young women. It’s gorgeous and has a lot of live instrumentation. It’s a real rap and neo-soul hybrid. Lyrically it is very personal and draws from everyday experiences like washing my grandmother’s feet or going grocery shopping. I would say it’s definitely my best music”.
From ‘Everything Is Beautiful’, here’s new single ‘Green Eggs & Ham’…
…and from ‘Everything Sucks’, this is ‘Practice’:
You’ll also be able to catch Princess Nokia live in the UK next month. Here are the dates:
20 Mar: London, EartH
21 Mar: Bristol, Marble Factory
23 Mar: Leeds, Stylus
